Creative Control presents us with a sneak peak into director Michael Eaton Sterling’s upcoming film project, set in Dame Dash’s Manhattan art gallery/studio space, DD172. The video features The Cool Kids and Mos Def, among others, alerting us to more great collabs emerging from within Dash’s studio space, which was home to the BlakRoc Project. That particular venture brought us music from The Black Keys, joined by the likes of Mos Def, RZA, Raekwon, Jim Jones, Pharoahe Monche, and Q-Tip. A total of 11 artists got together to record the album in 11 days, producing one of the more interesting projects to come along recently. No doubt, this is sure to be just as enticing:

It’s that time of year again, when we look back on the past 365 and determined what really ruled in rap, rave and rock. And as always, we want you to help us determine the best of the best. We may offer some suggestions, but there’s always room for your own faves. So take a few minutes with our 2009 Readers Poll. We’re happy to hear from you.
